Through the display screen on his helmet, Heaven Bing stared at the metal box with a mix of curiosity and deep-seated resentment toward Cloud Peak.
Even if this woman was Ye Zhongming’s partner, carrying a reserve armor at all times was already excessive. But now, what was this? Another full set of equipment?
Was Cloud Peak really that wealthy?
Liang Chuyin’s eyes sparkled with excitement because she had never worn this set of equipment before.
She had obtained it some time ago, and whenever she was alone, she would take it out to admire it, then lie in bed and giggle foolishly.
She knew this was the most precious gift Ye Zhongming had ever given her.
Once she put on this set of equipment, it would undoubtedly cause a massive sensation across Cloud Peak and perhaps even the entire country.
She might become the envy of all women.
Originally, she had planned to wear it on a special occasion, but the dire situation now forced her to make this choice.
She gently unlocked the metal box with a dog-tooth lock, and the crisp sound of mechanisms echoed from within immediately.
The box opened silently and smoothly, like a blooming flower, revealing a metal stand and a set of equipment.
The golden light made everything around it pale in comparison.
Inside the box was a complete set of six… golden-grade equipment!
Helmet, armor, battle skirt, boots, gloves with arm guards, and a small, mysterious rod whose purpose was still unknown.
Heaven Bing’s eyes nearly popped out of his head. If he had thought Cloud Peak was excessive before, now he felt a surge of curses rising to the heavens.
He finally understood why this woman, even when being attacked so miserably, had shown no intention of fleeing.
He also understood the strange look when she heard he was an eight-star evolved—it wasn’t fear, but a kind of eager anticipation.
An eagerness to defeat him, even kill him!
So, this was what gave her confidence.
As these thoughts flashed through Heaven Bing’s mind, the armor seemed to come to life, floating toward Liang Chuyin. It appeared slow but incredibly fast, and it was fully equipped on her in the blink of an eye.
The armor was originally light blue, but the golden light had masked its true color. Now that Liang Chuyin had concealed the golden grade, the set returned to its original appearance. It glowed with a smooth crystal beauty, utterly stunning.
This set of equipment was none other than the Moon Saint Armor, one of the three rewards Ye Zhongming had obtained after upgrading the Gate of Sacrifice to seven-colored grade. The other two rewards were Lucy’s Tears, which had already been used by Little Tiger, and the Wenjia Furnace, the production line for Taining Bricks, which were now the main building materials for Cloud Peak.
This was a complete gold-grade set.
At this moment, in Heaven Bing’s eyes, Liang Chuyin had undergone an earth-shaking transformation.
Earlier, her combat power had dropped to around 1,700 in his eyes, which was already a number that had shaken him.
As an eight-star evolved, Heaven Bing’s combat power, excluding his main equipment, was only over 2,000.
But a seven-star evolved was already approaching 1,800! And this was an injured seven-star evolved, meaning her numbers were affected. In other words, excluding equipment factors, Liang Chuyin was only slightly weaker than him.
Now, the changes in this woman’s data made Heaven Bing consider retreating.
Her combat power had skyrocketed to 4,500!
And this was without using any skills, and while she was still injured!
If she were in perfect condition, could she exceed 5,000?
5,000 combat power—even Heaven Jia might not reach that!
But the shocks for Heaven Bing weren’t over yet. Liang Chuyin tossed the mysterious short rod onto the whip on the ground, and something miraculous happened. The rod began to melt, becoming a pool of golden liquid enveloping the whip. In an instant, the blue-grade whip transformed into a golden-grade weapon!
When Liang Chuyin grasped the whip, her combat power surged by over 500 points, breaking through the 5,000 mark.
Heaven Bing genuinely began to consider retreating.
He had near-blind confidence in his own armor, and precisely because of this, he firmly believed in the combat power calculations.
He felt that he was no match for Liang Chuyin at this moment.
If that were the case, there would be no need to continue fighting.
Heaven Bing made a decision that was born out of a bit of reluctance.
How could an eight-star evolved like him be scared off by a seven-star evolved? If he returned without a fight, with two members of the Earth Vein dead and the Heaven Vein retreating, how would he explain it to his superiors?
So, he decided to fire one shot from the massive energy cannon on his back at Liang Chuyin, who was at the peak of her aura. If it killed her, great. If not, he would flee.
The cannon lit up, charging rapidly—the air around Heaven Bing distorted as the energy built up.
Liang Chuyin flicked her whip, and a pair of radiant butterfly wings made of energy appeared behind her. She shot into the air with a gentle flap, almost as if she had teleported.
At the same time, Heaven Bing’s weird cannon finished charging. With the press of a button, a massive beam of light shot out from the cannon, aimed directly at Liang Chuyin.
It looked as if Liang Chuyin was rising from the sky while the energy beam traced an arc, chasing her and eventually striking her.
Heaven Bing lowered the cannon and looked up at the sky, a hint of anticipation in his heart.
Perhaps this attack had worked, and he had instantly killed someone with over 5,000 combat power!
